Hasanpaşa, Kadıköy

Hasanpaşa is a neighborhood (mahalle) in the district of Kadıköy, on the Anatolian side of Istanbul, Turkey.

The neighborhood is home to the Kadıköy Municipality Building and the historical Hasanpaşa Gasworks, an important example of industrial-cultural heritage.

During Byzantine times, the area was known for its vineyards, orchards, and vegetable gardens and for its imperial summer palaces.

[7] During the 17th century, in Ottoman times, the area was the property of Kızlarağası Mısırlı Osman Ağa, but was nationalized by Murat IV in 1630.

In 1876, some Romanian and Bulgarian refugees from the Russian-Ottoman War were settled in the İkbaliye area of current Hasanpaşa, but even then only 8-10 houses.
